Anything else?

Please make sure you create a Business Relationship in your MTO e-file account for your sales tax account and for your business registration.
For SST customers, the state opens two sales tax accounts. To enroll in AutoFile, you would need to request that one of the two accounts be closed.
Michigan requires an annual reconciliation to be filed at the end of the year. To prepare for this return, filing details for the current year may be requested via email during the enrollment verification process.
